00:00I am Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Welcome to NBC's Destination X, the show that takes
00:06its players on a road trip of a lifetime. The only thing is, they don't know where
00:11the X they are.
00:15Now I am there to guide them, more importantly I am there to goad them as
00:21they travel from challenge to challenge, destination to destination. Look at that
00:27view. Oh my gosh, this is absolutely gorgeous. Now, you want to see their ride?
00:36It is kind of a rock star. Welcome to my Destination X bus. All they have to look at is
00:44themselves. The windows are blacked out almost at all times.
00:52Here is the one maybe seating area that they can possibly form their alliances, do a little
01:01strategizing without everybody hearing. Rick is a snake. Watch your back with him.
01:07What? So if they don't like each other, too bad. This is where the players will be sleeping,
01:14and as you can see, we like to make it as uncomfortable as humanly possible. I'm not
01:19a short person. This isn't so bad. I might be able to do this if there weren't nine other
01:26people in here with me. Good morning, family. The only time they'll be here strictly for
01:32sleep time. Well, when I say that, God knows what they're gonna do. Living on a bus is just
01:38like a massive adult 24-7 sleepover. Welcome to the map room, the single most important room in
01:48this game. The map room is extremely dangerous. The end of every episode will end with players
01:54in this very room. First timer. Oh, this is so cool. See, now the object is for the players to
02:01figure out where the hell they are. I think I'm in Rome. We could be really close to Germany.
02:07My brain is fried. The player that is furthest away leaves my bus. The player that dropped
02:14their ex furthest away from where we are right now is... No! Oh, my God! I'm not gonna
02:22make it easy for him, I'll tell you that. Play nice, you turkeys. No! No, no, no!
02:31you turkeys. No! No, no! But you may have something rather better for me like the
02:49pur mm. I don't think I'm gonna ride forever. Así has the same for us .
02:53There you go. You're a good trend. There you have.
02:55Bye.
